Boot Camp Boost for North Coast Charities.
B Square held their first NPO Boot Camp at Curro Mount Richmore on Saturday, 16 August 2014. This was a free event for charities and NPO’s and the focus was assisting organisations (doing wonderful work) with their governance and general business issues.
Local business training consultants Martin and Suzette Barnard are experts within the field of company governance. Martin is a qualified Auditor and worked in private practice in Gauteng for 10 years and served as Deputy Chairman of SAICA on the West Rand and Chairman of the Northern Division Tax Committee. Suzette facilitates courses on Company Secretarial functions throughout Africa. The pair have found it common within organizations in the NPO/ Charity sectors to be somewhat overwhelmed in the business side of the organization. The Social Work of such organizations is demanding on it’s own merit – leaving the business aspects a far second in importance.
The Social Work of a charity organization is by its nature overly demanding, this leaves little time or resources for the business side of the organization.
B Square aims to hold regular training sessions to assist these charities as part of their community social investment program.
Attendees on the recent workshop included Faith based organisations, Disability organisations and charities caring for children with learning disabilities.
Curro Mount Richmore sponsored the use of their school hall for the day, showing that by taking hands in a small way, a few can make a huge difference!
